Bangin' Bikes: SBR's Unknown V2 26"

Unknown stepping their game up! Although they are a fairly new company, they put out some sick ass products. Sean's new V2 frame is looking really fresh. With its beefy tires, negative bottom bracket, and great barspin clearance, this bike looks like a dream. I also really dig that Unknown Prototype fork. If this was my bike, I would slam that rear wheel though, I love having a tight wheelbase. Another thing I don't really like is those bars, at least cosmetically. I love S&M as a company but theres just something about those bars I don't like. Despite that, I bet the 5 inch rise feels really nice coupled with the negative bottom bracket. You can see more pictures of the build on Unknown's Blog.
